A former coworker sent me a message on Facebook recently, saying that she’d heard from a mutual friend that I “had it all together” when it came to finding a work/life balance as a work-from-home mom, and she wanted to chat about how I do it. I nearly spit my coffee out all over...
Well, my sugar-free experiment hasn’t gone exactly as planned, mostly due to the fact that I had already RSVPd for several food events in the last week, all of which involved sugar in some way. And, well, I’m just not dedicated to the cause enough to cancel on those sorts of events. It is,...

I waited until Mother’s Day to plant my garden, but every weekend since then, it’s been rainy here! Here’s hoping this weekend I can get some tomatoes and peppers in the ground. In the meantime, I talked with the owners of Personal Family Farmers, a cool, family-owned Colorado company that builds raised-bed gardens for...
